There is preciedent for this in fantasy literature, and I assumed they were making a feat to mimic what you read about in books. For example, a wizard who violates the precepts of his order might be subject to a spell as a punishment, but his saves are astronomical. So the thirty or so members of the order combine their efforts to insure the spell takes hold.As a DM, this seems like a fine feat for NPC wizards to have. But having one spell per wizard go off seems hideously overpowered. I create a cabal of wizards, for example, all with cooperative spell. The cabal can essentially cast spells that cannot be saved against or resisted. What seems more reasonable - to have one spell that cannot be resisted, or a hundred spells that cannot be resisted all going off at the same time?As for the rather silly argument that the feat would have to have extra text about a person who chooses the target and effects of the spell... why on earth would you consider this necessary? All participants have agreed upon which spell to cast - was it necessary to have a single person chosen to do this? They've all agreed when they're going to cast the spell - also without a specific, chosen leader. Is it really THAT much of a stretch to assume they've also already discussed ahead the actual casting where to target it and what it's particular effects, if any, will be?I think the real debate we're having is over the intent of the feat. Is it intended to be a minor boost for 2 multiclass casters in the same party - who will probably rarely be able to use it, and have used up a valuable feat slot? If this is how you envision it being used, perhaps having 2 spells go off isn't that unreasonable.Or is it intended to make a large group of single-class casters able to cast individual spells with obscenely high saving throws? This situation makes a single spell much more reasonable. Can you imagine a Geas cast with a save DC of 150? Or a Mark of Justice?</blockquote>
